Latest reviewed disclosure for each holder or reporting group

Substantial-holder disclosures; these can overlap registered accounts above
Investor / reported groupDisclosed holdingHolding at
Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd Reported group Gina Rinehart
Evidence for Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd

The issuer's annual report names Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd as the substantial holder. The 15 July 2026 Form 604 names Mrs Georgina Hope Rinehart and Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd and its related entities within the disclosed group. The registry links the corporate entity to Gina Rinehart's majority-owned private family company; this is a group disclosure, not her personal direct holding.

Arafura's FY2026 Annual Report states Hancock Prospecting held 17.48% as at 17 August 2026 and says its latest change notice was lodged on 15 July 2026.

The July 15 Form 604 reports the change on 9 July 2026, increasing the group's disclosed voting interest from 15.60% (726,487,213 shares) to 17.48% (1,053,410,290 shares); the annual report provides the later 17 August percentage but not a share quantity.

Do not add the associated individuals and entities separately; the group interests overlap.

Coverage and limitations

  • The register is dated 17 August 2026 and covers only the twenty largest registered accounts; it is not a live ownership feed.
  • Nominee and custody accounts do not reveal beneficial owners. Repeated BNP nominee lines are preserved as separate ranked accounts using their source line number to distinguish identical printed account names.
  • The annual report gives Hancock Prospecting's 17.48% at 17 August but no share quantity. The precise 1,053,410,290 quantity in the July Form 604 is tied to its 9 July change date and is not carried forward to August.
  • The downloaded issuer manifest was collected through 30 October 2026. The source review found no later ARU substantial-holder filing through the 2 November cutoff; the snapshot should be refreshed against future filings.
